What Do You Think of the CFDA's Model Guidelines?

New York Fashion Week kicks off next Thursday, and as you read this, designers are putting the finishing touches on their collections and casting models to walk the runways. The question is, two years after the Council of Fashion Designers of America issued guidelines for designers on the model body types they should avoid—will we see anything different at the shows? In case you missed it, the guidelines were meant to help "change the aesthetic on the New York runways and in magazines from extreme thinness to a more realistic ideal," as CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg recently wrote in an email to the press and to designers. Among other things, the guidelines encourage designers not to hire models younger than 16; to supply "healthy meals, snacks, and water backstage and at shoots and provide nutrition and fitness education;" to make sure that backstage is a smoke-free environment; and to prevent underage drinking by prohibiting alcohol.

So what do you think: Do these guidelines go far enough? And have you noticed a change in the way models look in recent years?
